Transforming Healthcare and Every Day Performance

By: Kriss Barlow, RN, MBA

Each week, I am blessed to work with different organizations across the country. And each week, I am struck by the fact that leaders in organizations – regardless of location, size, or type – are hungry to hear about solutions to the challenge of engagement. Really talented people are wondering how best to engage the physicians in new initiatives that go beyond the delivery of optimal healing experiences and begin to move toward the increasingly important goal of population health management.

The neat part is that leading organizations that are taking on elements of the challenge and they are willing to talk about it. Reading about it is OK, but hearing first-hand is better as you get the chance to hear the details and discuss it. Our industry offers great conferences for this like The Hospital and Physician Leadership Summit, October 13-15, in Scottsdale. It’s packed with engagement topics like accountable care, population health management, clinical integration, reducing re-admissions, developing high-performing networks, and more.
